Looking for a language tutor? There are several options for students enrolled in U-M language classes. Language tutors may provide assistance in understanding and explaining grammatical and cultural concepts, vocabulary and conversation practice. Tutors will not correct homework or proofread/edit papers assigned as classwork. The tutoring listed below is available at no cost to students.
The LRC staffs the LRC Peer Tutor Program. These tutors have been identified to have a high level of proficiency in the target language by their respective language program, and are available for students who are currently enrolled in a U-M language class. Spanish, German, and French tutoring are also provided to local community college students through the Transfer Bridges to the Humanities (TB2H) program. Interested students are welcome to join online via Zoom by signing up for appointments in advance.
Various student language clubs also offer tutoring at no cost to UM students. These volunteers are passionate and accomplished language students who volunteer their time to aid their peers to be successful in the chosen language. Many student language clubs also offer conversation times outside of tutoring hours, for more information contact the club directly. The Residential College (RC) offers lunchtime language tables, other dorms and programs may also offer conversation hours. Check with your department for more information.

Tutors, please be aware of internet safety. We recommend only accepting work in the local community where there is less of a chance for fraud. We have had reports of tutors being solicited to work with students outside of the US, which seem to involve scams. For more information on possible internet scams, visit the IC3 website. Additionally, please be conscious about giving out personal telephone numbers or addresses; we also strongly suggest meeting tutors/tutees in a public place.
